In fact, Tony was also limited by the structure. Unlike the large structure of the Portuguese Empire, the Kingdom of Aragon was a small structure.
Portugal is under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, and the country has just ended its five-year military regime and has just begun its five-year training regime. The two parties in the parliament are only in trial operation, and national affairs are very unified.
As for the Kingdom of Aragon, in order to win over the people below and establish legitimacy, as soon as the kingdom was re-established, it quickly began intensive preparations for the meeting. There was no military government or training at all, and it went directly to constitutional government.
As the saying goes, a small shop has a strong influence, and the Kingdom of Aragon is like a small bastard with a very small structure and strong local struggles.
In order to avoid the division of the country due to regional infighting, Francisco listened to the suggestion of his son Downing Pedro from the beginning and divided the four large regions into eleven small provinces and regions, and the National Parliament was also divided into eleven regions and 110 seats.
.
However, this currently has little effect. Because of the strength of Barcelona and Valencia and their long-term influence on surrounding areas, regional alliances are currently popular in parliament.
There are currently six parties, the Socialist Unity Party (an ally of the Portuguese Socialist Party of Unification); the National Democratic Party (an ally of the Portuguese National Democratic Party); the Traditional Party of Aragon (based on the old Aragon region); and the Catalan Common Party (based on
The Catalonia region is the base); the Valencian Community Party (the Valencia region is the base); the Balearic Progressive Party (the Balearic Islands region is the base).
Six parties, two national parties and four local parties.
The Socialist Unity Party and the National Democratic Party have influence in various regions. They have members in 110 seats in the 11 regions of the National Parliament. The Socialist Unity Party has 34 seats and the National Democratic Party has 32 seats. The current cabinet is composed of two parties.
The other four local parties are mainly entrenched in the original four major regions. Although they do not have many parliamentary seats, they can exert considerable power under certain circumstances.
As for the capital issue dispute, it was brought about by the Common Party of Catalonia, the Common Party of Valencia, the United Socialist Party and the National Democratic Party. Their members come from various regions. Of course, they must stand for the interests of their respective regions, so their respective
MPs from the two major parties in the region also cooperated with the two parties.
"What's the point of all this quarrel? The new capital must decide." Francisco I frowned, disgusted with the quarrels in the Assembly.
The national parliament is simply a vegetable market. Every time there is an issue involving major local interests, there will always be an uproar in the parliament.
Last time, the proposal to allocate funds for the construction of Cambro River comprehensive water conservancy facilities and the construction of industrial bases in the three regions of Zaragoza Capital Province, Huesca Province and Teruel Province in the old Aragon region was accelerated.
The Common Party of Catalonia and the Common Party of Valencia have been desperately trying to stir up trouble, and the Traditional Party of Aragon is also confronting them tit for tat.

In the end, if Francisco I hadn't supported Tony's coalition cabinet, I don't know how long the debate would have lasted.
"Tony, since there are endless disputes between Valencia, Barcelona, and Zaragoza regarding the capital issue, let's choose a place in the middle as the capital."
Francisco I looked at the map, and then after thinking for a while, he pointed out a city - Tortosa.
"I think this city called Tortosa is a good city. It is located on the lower reaches of the Cambro River and is close to the sea.
Tortosa is located almost in the middle of Valencia, Barcelona, and Zaragoza, and even opposite the Balearic Islands. It is simply the center of the four corners.”
Francisco I said to Prime Minister Tony in a firm tone: "My dear Prime Minister, the capital is in Tortosa, there is no need to choose another place.
The province of Tarragora, where this city is located, will be the capital province from now on. As for whether the name of the capital province should be changed to the province of Tortosa? Let the parliament of this province decide."
"His Majesty has a very good vision. I also think this city is very suitable. It is located in the country and is almost equidistant from the three important cities in our country.
Although this city is a small city, it is precisely because it is small that it is better designed as a capital.
The renovation design of Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Portugal, was a big city and it took a lot of money and time to modify it at that time.”
"Hahaha, Tony, your point of view is good. It can be used as another powerful evidence when convincing the parliament!" Francisco I laughed.
